A bold garalde italic with inverted contrast, drawn for packaging, posters and book covers.
About
A serif display by Rafael Saraiva that fuses inverted contrast with a bold, garalde-style italic. Dalton Maag pitch it for packaging, logos, posters, magazines and book covers, where its expressive contrast does the heavy lifting. The italic-only construction makes it a specialist headline face rather than a workhorse, and the support is Latin only.
Classification
Dalton Maag describes Gardez as a serif display font born from introducing inverted contrast into a bold, garalde-style italic, producing a highly expressive design.
